Tottenham could go over Thomas Frank’s head to sell key player this summer
Tottenham Hotspur may be about to make a transfer decision that Thomas Frank would not approve of, even before the Dane has officially begun his work as the Spurs head coach.
Various reports indicate that it is only a matter of time before Frank is confirmed as the Tottenham boss and the Dane will have his work cut out at Hotspur Way.
His first task will be to oversee the club’s summer rebuild, with reports indicating that the Spurs recruitment team are prioritising adding more experience to their squad this summer.
Among the things that the Lilywhites are dwelling on is the future of their captain, with Heung-min Son being heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia.
Tottenham may sell Heung-min Son against Thomas Frank’s wishes
Football Insider have now claimed that Frank would prefer to keep the South Korean at the club, but that does not mean he will get his way.
It is suggested that with the forward now having just one year left on his deal, the Lilywhites will listen to offers that come their way for him.
The outlet claims that should a “very lucrative bid” arrive for the 32-year-old from the Saudi Pro League, the decision will fall on the club’s hierarchy and they might well decide to accept it.
If this update is true, it sounds like Frank might be up against it right from the start at Spurs, just like Ange Postecoglou, who had to deal with the loss of Harry Kane a day before his first game in charge of the North London club.
How likely is Son to move to Saudi Arabia?
Reports over recent days have indicated that Saudi Pro League clubs have been speaking to Son’s representatives, which indicates that the forward is open to a summer switch.
Son has refused to rule out a Tottenham exit this summer, with the Spurs captain not willing to comment on the rumours doing the rounds about a move to the Middle East.
Meanwhile, it was reported by The Telegraph a few days ago that Son has left his teammates with the impression that he could leave. All signs thus point to the fact that his decade-long spell could well come to an end this summer.
